Smoky Mountain Christmas-Cumberland Gap Reunion

I am a fan of all things white-trash. Maybe not so much the casual racism and the Skoal, but I would be lying if I told you that drinking lukewarm Coors in the back of a broken pickup truck while listening to Jeff Foxworthy cassettes in someone‘s backyard did not appeal to me. 

Smoky Mountain Christmas by the Cumberland Gap Reunion really scratches that redneck itch I get from time-to-time, except it holds a certain level of self respect not unlike a tuxedo made from camo. 

I‘m always a little wary picking up Christmas CDs from Goodwill because most of them take themselves too seriously and are way too polished. This release has a raw feel and is totally listenable. 

Put this shit on your iPod and fill up your flask! 4 outta 5 candy canes.
